She was surprised to see explicit scenes depicting people in Hell if they didn't accept Jesus as their savior.

Ybarra said the display left her feeling violated and that it brought up questions about serious moral issues she has yet to address with her 14-year-old son.

"There was a young lady lying on a gurney, and two nurses. And one of the nurses was reaching into the lady and pulling out a bunch of gunk, and throwing it on the floor," Ybarra said, telling of an abortion scene at the house.

She also said the scenes were too realistic and that there was no warning prior to entering the exhibit.

"I quickly realized that this is not something that I wanted to be at. So I asked if I could leave, and they did not allow us to leave," Ybarra said.

Melrose said people aren't allowed to turn around because of safety concerns. He also said the purpose of the house is to attract people toward Jesus.

The idea did not sit well with Ybarra.

"You don't convert children like that. Tell them that they are going to Hell and things like that. You just don't do that," she said.

Members of the church said they aren't shocked by complains about the display. They said it has been helping them save many young souls every night.
